To ensure you never miss out important notifications from specific apps related to health, home security, and public safety, iOS 12 comes with an exceptionally user-friendly feature called “Critical Alerts.” Once you have turned on Critical Alerts on your iPhone, the notifications from compatible apps will arrive with sound even when Do Not Disturb is enabled or your device is muted.

You can choose to take advantage of this feature to never let any essential alerts go out of your notice. To say the least, it can turn out to be your savior!
